“Labor Day”?

In a country where the government pays people NOT to work? And forces people who DO work to pay the tuition bills of people who do not feel like working? Or who pursued worthless degrees and now don’t want to pay for them?

Labor Day is a joke.

And, collectively speaking, we are a SICK country.

White liberals have succeeded in brainwashing Americans into ignorance. White liberals have been so successful that schools are dedicated to erasing history instead of teaching it. For example, South Orange New Jersey has ridded itself of association with Thomas Jefferson by renaming Jefferson Elementary school Delia Bolden Elementary School in honor of the first black woman from that area to graduate from high school. According to the school, both the students and faculty led the fight to disassociate from Thomas Jefferson. School board member Qawi Telesford said the reason is that Jefferson owned slaves.

Jefferson owned slaves because slaves comprised the agricultural labor force of his time. Slavery was an inherited institution. It was established in territory that later became the United States long before Jefferson was born and long before the United States existed or was even a thought in someone’s mind.

There was nothing Thomas Jefferson or anyone else could have done about it. Turn them loose, you say. Examine what you are saying. 18th century slave owners, such as Jefferson, were not responsible for slavery. It was the existing labor institution into which they were born. Economists will tell you that the price of a slave was the present value of his lifetime wages. Having paid these wages in the slave’s price, how were agricultural producers to pay it a second time by freeing slaves and then hiring them back as workers?

If the US then had the high revenues or money creating capability of today, the government could have compensated owners for the value of the slaves, thus providing a bucket of money for wages with which to reemploy the slaves. Without compensation, the plantations would be confiscated of a work force and without a work force would have to close down. The freed slaves would have no means of subsistence. It is likely that the cost of what is called incorrectly a “civil war” greatly exceeded the cost of compensating slave owners. But, of course, the war was not about slavery. It was about forcing the South to pay the tariff on which the development of Northern industry depended. As President Lincoln said, the South can have slavery forever if they consent to staying in the Union and paying the tariff.

As a result of the takeover of education by ideologues, the level of ignorance in the US is so high that people actually believe that slave owners enslaved the blacks. That is not the case. The blacks arrived in what later became the US already enslaved. They were enslaved by the black king of Dahomey, whose successful slave wars fed captured blacks into the slave trade.

White people did not enslave blacks. They purchased blacks already enslaved by other blacks. They purchased blacks, because that was the available labor force, not because white people were racist. There were just as many white slaves, if not more, held by Muslims at the time.

It’s not a “Justice Department.” It’s a bunch of mobsters, tyrants and politicized police forces (think Gestapo, KGB) run amok; and the whole outcome involving Trump is rigged. The broader issue here: America is an occupied country. We are IN a civil war. The DemComs know it. Their victims — you and I — do not WANT to know it. The truth seems too awful to face, and the psyches of good people must absorb the horrifying truth incrementally. When they arrest Trump — and it’s GOING to happen — perhaps more patriots will wake up.

America, in all its history, was never occupied by its enemies, such as the Nazis, the imperial Japanese, or the Soviets. We always defeated them first. For the first time, our military and government apparatus is under the control of people openly hostile to our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our system of capitalism, and they stand ready to crush ALL of our freedom. Prayer and sentimental wishes will not save us. We are in a war and have been attacked as decisively as a 9/11 or a Pearl Harbor. The leftists who operate as “Democrats” are at least as bad and may ultimately prove worse than any of America’s prior enemies. Watch and judge this for yourself.

Gorbachev was not a freedom-lover; he was a Communist. Yet even he would be too right wing for today’s “Democrats.”
